I started renaming to keep track of the villagers easier. I started with me and my family. Then went on to name people after some of my favorite tv shows, I have the cast of House, The andy Grifith show, Gilligans island(simply because they were castaways of course) etc. I started then in on naming them after my employees. I realized I was losing touch with reality when i started to freak out over people breeding that are named afer my family members. I was like that is your brother, duh, it is a game take a break from the computer.
